Recycling your old clothes-

With a lot of people having the new years resolution to loose some pounds, you wonder what you will do with all those clothes that no longer fit you or your spouse. And how about your children who seem to grow every 3-4 months, their clothes are still almost brand new!

So here is a great way to recycle your old clothes

-Pick out a dress shirt that no longer fits your spouse
-remove all the buttons
-launder it (if it hasn't been done lately)
-cut in to long strips (I think there is an online tutorial on youtube that you can use to create your own "yarn"). If I can find it, I will post the link.

Cut the shirt in to strips about 1 inch or less and start using them to crochet a bowl.
You can make them what ever size you want and they can hold everything from your car keys, to paper clips, to even fruit on the table (if you have made one that big).

Have fun, it was just a great idea that I wanted to share!
